Lovely

About 95% of the time, when someone links to something on YouTube I don’t watch it. I usually feel like I don’t have time, but maybe I’ll look at it later. I never look at it later. Are you like that too? Well, don’t do it this time.

Let me tell you, this one is worth watching. I needed this. Maybe you need it too. I am totally doing this. Who’s with me?

Still missing my Dad

September 18, 2008 · 2 Comments

He’s been gone a little over two months and my heart still aches. Sometimes I miss him so much my chest physically hurts.  In case you miss your dad, and haven’t cried enough lately, you can listen to this. Here are the lyrics:

When I was young, my Dad would say Come on Son let’s go out and play
Sometimes it seems like yesterday

And I’d climb up the closet shelf When I was all by my-self
Grab his hat and fix the brim Pretending I was him

No matter how hard I try
No matter how many tears I cry
No matter how many years go by
I still can’t say good-bye

He always took care of Mom and me. We all cut down a Christmas tree
He always had some time for me

Wind blows through the trees
Street lights, they still shine bright
Most things are the same
but I miss my Dad to-night

I walked by a Salvation Army store Saw a hat like my daddy wore
Tried it on when I walked in Still trying to be like him

No matter how hard I try
No matter how many years go by
No matter how many tears I cry
I still can’t say good-bye
